Former Tamil Nadu captain and domestic giant Sridharan Sharath is set to become the new chairman of the BCCI’s junior national selection panel, which will be entrusted with the duty of selecting next year’s U-19 World Cup squad. 

While the official announcement will happen in due course of time, the left-handed Sharath, who has also been a BCCI match referee, is being tipped to take over from Ashish Kapoor, whose term ended earlier this year.
